Links I Love • November 2019

“A list is only as strong as its weakest link.” - Donald Knuth

• Beautiful French Advent Calendars - Some of these “calendars” are amazing, but 450€ - yikes!

• The Word that Encapsulates Frenchness - I love this word. Next time I’m in Paris, I will be particularly mindful of its meaning and impact.

• 43 French Recipes That Are Basically the Same as Hopping on a Plane to Paris - This almost makes me want to bake.

• Sail Magazine’s List of Top 10 Sailing Movies - I’ve seen them all, but I don’t love that the list consists primarily of sailing tragedies. As a female sailor, I prefer Wind (proving once again that “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”) and Maiden.

• How to Hygge at Marquette - Defined as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being” — in other words, home.

• Artist Pokes Fun At Literature Classics In 30 Cartoons - So funny!

• The Eiffel Tower Is Now Home to an Urban Winery - Pourquoi pas?

• Knowing Paris by Its Bridges - This is a great intro to the book that I’m currently reading, The Seine: The River that Made Paris.

• Why Does France Love Friends So Much? - Perhaps Joey says it best.

• What It Was Like to Photograph Audrey Hepburn - Audrey’s beauty, charm, and kindness are timeless.

• All 339 Books Referenced In "Gilmore Girls" - I think it’s time to update my progress on the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.

• Inside the Original Shakespeare and Company (and the current iteration) - This place is both magical and real. Although never a “tumbleweed,” I have written about my time there too.

• France's Love/Hate Relationship with Beaujolais nouveau - Although I’ve woven it into our Thanksgiving tradition, I feel the same way.

Weekend in Boston

"Boston commands attention as the town which was appointed in the destiny of nations to lead the civilization of North America." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Faneuil Hall

Paul Revere’s House

Old North Church

Harvard

“Harvard is the home of American ideas.” - P. J. O'Rourke

This is what I learned at Harvard today. Audrey was wicked smaaht!

How nice of Harvard to forego the Crimson for Marquette Blue and Gold — I feel right at home!

Week 46 - Storytelling: 7 Deadly Sins (Sloth)

“Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness. Mind you, it’s only mental sloth that I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.”

- Elizabeth Huxley
